SOYA PASTA BOLOGNESE Us Brits are well known for our love of that classic supper treat, Spaghetti Bolognese. However if you are vegetarian or vegan you needn’t be left out of our national love-fest with this comforting dish with my soya pasta “Bolognese” which is a common result of my labours in the kitchen. Instead of using beef mince I use textured vegetarian protein which is also known as soya mince. You can find this product at wholefoods stores and good supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsburys. It needs to be rehydrated before use with freshly boiled water and yields about three times ... more

When I make things like chilli and curries, I like to make huge amounts and then freeze them as not only does it make less work for me to have to keep making them in single portions when required, but it gives the flavours a chance to really infuse together, giving a better flavour in my opinion. The recipe below makes a huge amount of chilli, so enough to fill a family and/or put some away for another time, depending on how many people you're feeding in one serving. You can change the amounts (more or less) quite easily, in fact most of this can be done in guess work so don't worry if you're ... more

This is one of my favourite salads and it's a great option for vegetarians/vegans as it's sometimes hard to find tasty salads that contain no meat or eggs.

A warm sunny welcome from the Caribbean! I would like to share with you some of our lovely Jamaican dishes, in particular those associated with the Rastafarian movement. Any true Rastafarian is a vegetarian and will only eat ‘Ital’ foods. Basically food that is served as raw as possible and without canned or processed foods. Some Rastafarians say they can eat fish, but not shellfish. Pork is a definite no-no. Liquor, milk, coffee and soft drinks are also seen as unnatural. For all you feminists out there, you might be interested to know that many Rastafarian men are the ones who do the cooking ... more
